About me

“You don’t have to do this alone”. Hi, I’m Johnna, and I’m so glad you’re here. I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply not like themselves—and are ready for something to change. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, past trauma, depression, or life transitions, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more connected to yourself. In our work together, you’ll find a space that’s supportive, nonjudgmental, and focused on what you need. I use a mix of effective approaches like EMDR, CBT, and to help you move through what’s holding you back and toward the life you want. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start—just a willingness to take the first step. I’m here to walk that path with you so, let’s get started and schedule a session with me asap.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored treatment plan for further counseling sessions. Therapy will be results driven to move you toward the life you want.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What makes my approach different is that I combine proven, evidence-based methods with a warm, personalized style that meets you exactly where you are. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—not just a series of sessions—where you’re an active part of your healing journey. Whether using EMDR to gently process past trauma or CBT to shift unhelpful thinking, I focus on practical tools that bring real, lasting results. Clients often tell me they appreciate how safe and supported they feel in our work together—and how quickly they start noticing positive changes in their mood, confidence, and overall well-being. My goal is to help you not just manage symptoms, but to truly move forward and thrive in your life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or carrying the weight of past experiences they haven’t been able to move through. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted by constant overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional triggers they can’t quite explain. If you’re someone who’s tried to “push through” but still feels held back, EMDR and other proven tools can help you finally find relief and lasting change. Whether you’re dealing with long-standing anxiety or know there’s something deeper beneath the surface, I provide a safe, supportive space to process, heal, and move forward with clarity and confidence. You don’t have to stay stuck—together, we can help you feel more like you again.

My treatment methods

EMDR

Feeling stuck in old patterns or overwhelmed by past experiences? I specialize in EMDR therapy, a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps the brain heal from trauma, anxiety, and emotional wounds. Whether you're navigating the impact of childhood experiences, relationship struggles, or recent life stressors, EMDR can help you find lasting relief and reclaim your sense of self. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on creating a safe space for healing at your pace. Let’s work together to move you from surviving to truly living. Schedule a session today and take the first step toward lasting change.

Somatic

Talk therapy isn’t always enough—sometimes healing needs to happen through the body. Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your physical and emotional self by gently exploring how stress, trauma, and emotions live in the body. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, chronic tension, or feeling disconnected, this body-based approach supports deeper healing, regulation, and resilience. If you're ready to feel more grounded, present, and in control of your life, let’s work together. Schedule a session today and start your journey back to yourself.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—a highly effective, research-based approach for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and negative thinking patterns. In our work together, we'll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, and develop practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Whether you're looking to manage worry, boost your mood, break old habits, or navigate life changes, I’ll tailor CBT techniques to fit your unique goals. My goal is to help you feel more confident, resilient, and in control of your mental health—not just in sessions, but in your everyday life. Let’s get started—schedule a session today and take that first step forward.

Johnna is very good. She quickly identified the type of therapy work that was needed and has helped me overcome so much of my childhood traumas. I would not be where I am today without her kind words yet gentle push to do the necessary work that makes therapy effective.
